Abandoned for years, moss and climbing ivy vines have long ago claimed the wooden pergolas and overgrown the white marble statues around the forgotten pond in the middle of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo one ever comes there except Georgina; a young woman who everyone thinks is a little bit peculiar ever since that strange accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut when her brother hires a couple of workers and a new gardener from the village to help clear up the gardens around the estate, everything will change...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extract from the story:\u003cbr\u003e“Did you not know that it is forbidden to run in the rose garden?” he mumbled and kissed my hair softly.\u003cbr\u003e“You made that up,” I accused him and tried to move away from him; however, he would not let me get away. Instead, he pulled me closer, and kissed and gently nibbled my earlobe. It tickled a little, but I also found it rather exciting, something that I knew he was perfectly aware of. I shivered despite the warm summer day.\u003cbr\u003e“There is a punishment for running in my garden,” he continued and left a trail of soft kisses along my throat. I felt his grip around my waist increase slightly, and one of his hands travelled downwards and stroked my lower back. My heart beat faster, which was not entirely a result of having been running.\u003cbr\u003e“There is not.” I giggled in protest. “Besides, technically it is my garden and not yours! The old rose garden belongs to my family’s estate, after all.”\u003cbr\u003e“No one can own a garden, you silly girl. It belongs to the person who takes care of it, of course.
